TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
CO-DESIGNED WITH SAILING CLUBS
It took 18 months to develop this buoyancy jacket. We designed a 50 Newton buoyancy jacket for sailing clubs, taking into account the constraints of intensive use to create a light, compact, and robust product. The French Sailing Federation (FFV) and 3 partner clubs contributed their expertise in order to design a product suitable for everyone, from beginners to experienced sailors, not to mention sailing instructors.
CONSTRUCTION
The shorter cut of the jacket and the multiple polyethylene foam panels make it very light for unrestricted use. The plastic buckles on each side of the jacket are designed so they can be replaced if necessary.
The crotch strap, which is not included in the black jacket, enables all instructors and managers to equip their sailing clubs.
VHF LOOP
On the left shoulder of the jacket, we added a loop to enable the VHF to be attached. This option proves particularly useful for sailing instructors or when sailing motorboats.
COMPATIBILITY OF THE TRAPEZE BELT AND HARNESS
This buoyancy jacket is compatible with all trapeze belts and windsurfing harnesses on the market. The hook loop prevents the jacket from rising unexpectedly by itself.
MULTI-SPORT
A 50 N jacket should be used in dinghies, catamarans, stand up paddleboards, windsurfers, and canoes/kayaks. It can also be used on board yachts up to 6 miles from the coast, provided it is worn while sailing (division 240).
